its impossible, I like to floor my c63s (estate) for the sound but every time I do that I might loose my driving license.

That little bit of plastic on the rear wheel arch that deletes itself in car washes isn't an "aero addition", it's purely stuck on to appease the German regs that say a tyre can't stick out beyond the bodywork.

literally the first time i hear any youtube channel being so honest and speak about the reality of problems these cars can have.

Great video. I worked at mercedes when the first models were being launched as well as the facelift, the pre facelift is absolutely the way to go. Gearbox and dash being the main reasons (new digital dashes are so emotionless). Such a great car but for not *much* more than the 120k models you could be looking at an early model AMG GT or GTS with the drivetrain!

So owning one is like marrying a trice divorced former high fashion model: it looks good from far, but it's far from good...and expensive to upkeep.

I own a 2017, I have had to replace one turbo, timing belt, sunroof, coolant line, and infotainment system (although I think the issue was due to some other electronic issue). Trunk open button inside the car did break. (Not covered under warranty) All of the repairs were under warranty so that was the only good part. Overall still an amazing car, would still by another after 5 years of ownership.

great review. one of the best

I love these videos, because it keeps the common folk from buying these beautiful gems. These c63s are more exclusive than we think, unlike f80/82 M cars and now g80/82. These type of videos talking down on them are good to all of us w205 c63s owners. I own a 2018 c63s and I never had any of these issues but I’ll let him tell it 😊

Thanks for the great video! I have a 2015 W205 C63S wagon with little over 100k now driven. No issues, except for the outside ambient lighting. The problem is probably caused by water that gets through some seals when washing the car in the winter, so avoid pressure washing the mirrors and door handles. The car does heat up quite quickly, so I could imagine that you might run into problems in hotter climates and on track. I live in Finland, so over heating isn't an issue. The car is too heavy for track use. I love it as a daily driver, especially in the winter. Dial down the traction controls and the drive to the office can be quite exciting, even while keeping within the speed limits. Not planning to sell the car and don't really care how much it may cost to fix things later on.

I'm also hoping that since the car has a lot of aluminum parts and panels, that it will survive the conditions. The average age of cars is about 13 years, and cars are crazy expensive here due to the taxes. I think my car would have been 180k€ when new. I imported my car used from Germany, so I didn't pay quite as much.

I always wanted an Audi S5 coupe (your video on one helped a lot), luckily I got a 2018 C43 coupe for the same price (usually 3-5k more expensive) here in south Austria. Since we have quite a lot of snow the C63 was out of the question budget and drive wise, my coworker has one and complains it cant put the power down, Mine however can, always.

We have the lesser C43, which is still fun an so far minimal issues, and the full on GLE63. I don't drive the GLE hard so hopefully I will not be stuck with problems.

Next review idea please do Ford probe. what to look out for. Thanks mate

As I've said on previous Merc vids the 9 speed 725 transmissions are generally expensive to service. And we'd seen quite a few owners dump these cars at the 3 year mark because the 3 year A service on these is generally eye-wateringly expensive - spark plugs, rear diff oil and the first trans fluid change, generally budget for about $3k from a dealer, slightly less obviously when using an independent.

You should do a video on the SV6

i know these are amazing but still prefer the older w204 for that brutal 6.2 NA engine!

Don't think i have ever watched a review on a car with more issues than this one, I like the idea of it but it just seems to be a gamble finding one that won't cost you a fortune or get on your nerves.
